What True Merit Will Do,

The unprecedented sale Of Boschee's
German Syrup within a few years, has
astonished the world. 1t IS without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of coughs, colds and the severest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physians, as it does
not dry up a cough and leave the disease
still i'll the system, but on the contrary
removes the cause Of the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leaves them in a
purely healthy condition. A bottle
kept in the house for use when the
diseases make their appearance, will
save doctors bills and a long spell of
serious illness. A trial will convice you
of these facts. 1t is positively sold by
all druggists and general dealers in the
land. Price, rs cts, large bottles.

A Delegation Unnecessary.

President Cleveland sen the follow
ing telegram to the members of the
Chamber of Commerce committee upon
the receipt of an invitation to visit st.
Paul and Minneapolis, from the tenor
of which the people of the twin cities
will doubtless conclude that a delega-
ton to Washington is unnecessary:

sofa, Il. A. Smith, mayor Of St. Paul,
and A. A. Ames, mayor Of Minneapolis (:
l thank you for the cordiaIity and
heartiness manifested in your dispatch,
and promise to consider your invitation
with an earnest desire to accept the
same, but may | suggest that no delega-
ton be sent here during this trying
weather to emphasize your wishes. l
will determine the question speedily
and | hope to your satisfaction.

The Blunder Of u Thief.

''It is strange" said Police Captain
Killelea, chow the most expert thieves
sometimes give their business completely
away. They often make as bad plumbers
as a newly fiedged cop. remember once
l was on patrol duty in the Bowery-
ne mind how many years ago that Is,
10. : am not in middle age yet-and l was
ia, ing it easy toward the early hours OF a
pleasant summer morning. Looking care
lessly up the street l noticed a ragpicker
coming toward me-, stopping every now
and then to dig with his hook into the ash
barrels on the sidewalk. He would have
passed me, rs is usually the case, without
my even b~estowing a glance on him, but
as he went by me he said, Good morning,
sir, and turned the next corner just few
feet from me. IL was SO unusual for men
of this class TO give a policeman a pleasant
greeting that l looked curiously after him,
and a sudden suspicion jumped into my
mind that all was not right with him. l
stepped softly but quickly after him, and
before he had reached the next corner
stopped him, and with a quick inspiration
determined to examine his sack. 1t was
full of s~ilverware, gold watches, jew
elry, etc, that had been stolen from n
dealer half a mile above my beat, and the
thief had walked safely past this other
policeman until his unlucky good morn
ing to me lost him his booty and sent him
to the p~enitentiary for a term Of years.

Interview with s. w. Dorsey.


"What are tho details Of the cattle bust
ness and the expenses of managing q
ranch?"
1.-THE expenses of conducting a ranch
depend largely upon its location and the
number OF cattle you have. In Wyoming
and south Of there it ought not to cost
more than 81 a head a year in n herd OF
5000, and less than that with a larger
herd. When you have no fancy managers,
sub managers and other officers TO pay
large salaries to, the expenses can even be
reduced below this. The principal item
of expense is wages to employees, which
range from $50 to $50 a month for ordi-
nary hands and $50 for the boss Of an
outfit, which means the man who has
charge Of n wagon and twenty or thirty
hands. The work upon a ranch begins after
the 1st of April, when the whole country
in the n~eighborhood Of a hundred or two
miles Of the ranch is hunted over and
cattle rounded up and brought back 10
their own range.
"You understand in the winter we do
nothing whatever with cattle, but let
them 90 and drift wherever storms may
take them. When a great storm RACES
cattle win run before it az long as it lasts.
Sometimes they will travel as far as fifty or
one hundred miles, and only stop when the
storm ceases. If they were not allowed
to travel before the storms, but compelled
to stand still, fully one-half would freeze
to death. 1t is only the constant walking
that keeps them alive. This is the reason
ranchmen have pulled down all their wire
fences, and done it without the aid OF Mr..
Cleveland's proclamation. If cattle are
put in a pasture, however large it may be,
they will drift against the south line Of
the fence, and, being stopped by 1t many
of them will perish. No cnttle man will
have a fence."-N. Y. Mail and Express.

Washington Special: The geological
survey has not as yet paid any attention
to Dakota in its work, except SO far as
the Black Hills are concerned. In the
course of a conversation a day or two
since, Henry Gannett, chief geologist
for the survey. was asked why Dakota
was given no attention by the bureau.
1t was pointed out that the territory
was rapidly growing in wealth and
population, that her needs in the way
of stove fuel and water were great, and
yet no attention had been given her
and nothing was known Of the geologic
al formation and her possibilities in any

We notice by the Oelrichs Times that
Mr.. Harry Oelrichs has taken the kind.
advice of the Bell and given up Mrs.
Langtry and returned to his ranch near
that place. We see by the same paper
that he recently sold a half dozen fine
Jersey COWS to a man at Custer. This
is more like it, Mr.. Oelrichs Jersey
cows pay better than Jersey Lilies. By
staying at home YOU car sell a good
blooded jersey COW for 500 any day,
but when you go to running around
after the Jersey Lily it costs you $3.50
every week just for flowers alone. Stick
to the Jersey cow.-Dakota Bell.

Suppression of Perfumery.

1t would by no means be a bad idea to
start a society for the suppression of per-
fumery. Every public place where people
are brought together, and especially where
women congregate, is almost sure to be
rendered offensive 10 sensitive persons by
the overwhelming odors which are ex-
hailed from the clothing Of people who
have supposed they were rendering them
selves attractive by the use Of these pow
erful scents. There are many people TO
whom these odors are always offensive

English Spies.

"A gentleman Just down from the Bear
Gulch district brings us the news that
there is reason to believe that the
Cornish tin interests have, in that camp,
spies who keep watch upon the Ameri-
can Tin company's works, and report to
headquarters everything that happens.
The same belief is current in the Har.
ney Peak section. The question might
be asked, why should the English care
what is done hereP The answer is,
much. Ten years ago it is stated that
but one paying mine existed in Corn
wall. To-day there are several. There
has been a constant increase in the
price Of tin. 1t is well known that the
price of tin bears no relation to the
demand, but is dictacted by a "tin king"
who resides in London. 1t is also a
notorious fact that the British govern
ment has always shown a commendable
enterprise in taking care of no one.
This is shown by shipping paupers,
bribing Catholic hierarchy in Ireland,
bombarding Alexandria, and in many
other ways. There is a large popula-
ton in Cornwall who depend upon
mining for a living. Should the price
of tin decline they would suffer ac-
cordingly. As it is, the average wages
earned by the miners is less than SIS
per month. AS explained to the writer
some time since by a we'll known en-
gineer, who knows Cornwall well, this
is mainly earned by "tributers.' who
are in many instances virtual poems.
If they take a lease and do not take out
anything, they are allowed a "subsist,"
that they may continue work, but this,
however, is taken out of the first "fne
bunch o tin" struck. Years ago when
tin was down, from south sea discover
les, there were the bread riots at St.
James. Should tin again go down so
low-e60 per ton, great distress would
necessarily follow. 1t is now el03 per
ton, and it is the object of the TIN syndi.
cate and the English government to
keep it so.
The Republican believes that English
spies are in the Black Hills who watch
every move, and that Thomas White
may have been a tool in their employ
30 defeat the opening of our mines re-
Gently. That the belief is current
among the miners in Bear gulch may be
easily learned it is said, by inquiring
there. They eve go so far as to point
out the two who are doing the work. The
name of their spy in Pennington county
has been intimated to the Republican.
The gentleman who gave us the infor-
nation, does not think Mr.. White is so
employed, but that he has been made
use of by parties in London, without
first seeing what he was doing. In
other words he was hattered into it, and
now repents his action.-Rapid Repub-
lican, 80.
